23 William Street, Stockton NSW 2295

An architect's touch and the inspired reinvention of one of Stockton's signature worker's cottages has created a unique two storey contemporary retreat crafted to sit perfectly in its beachside setting. Attention to sustainable design principles is achieved through careful craftsmanship and bespoke finishes fashioned from cedar, Colorbond, timber and an expansive use of glass louvers and ceiling fans. A flexible layout with a choice of living and alfresco spaces and an upper level parents' retreat addresses the needs of contemporary lifestyles.

Warm and inviting with 11ft ceilings and hardwood timber floors, the interiors feature a classic double fronted layout with a central hallway branching off into a selection of three double bedrooms and a living/dining room. Intuitively configured to maximise the flow of light and space, the open plan family living, dining and kitchen areas adjoin for easy living and entertaining whilst offering a seamless transition to a rear deck or private side courtyard. Upstairs a bright and breezy whole floor parents' retreat features a versatile extra living space and a tranquil master bedroom boasting a walk-in robe, ensuite and private deck capturing water and city views. This home's versatility and space impresses, as does its choice of living and alfresco options, level child friendly grounds, outdoor shower and freestanding double garage with handy rear lane access.

An ideal home for any busy couple or growing family, its handy position a stroll from the local school, shops, ferry and 32km of pristine coastline truly offer an excellent lifestyle choice.
